Answer:

0.50 mol

Explanation:

The half-life is <em>the time required for the amount of a radioactive isotope to decay to half that amount</em>.

Initially, there are 8.0 moles.

  • After 1 half-life, there remain 1/2 × 8.0 mol = 4.0 mol.
  • After 2 half-lives, there remain 1/2 × 4.0 mol = 2.0 mol.
  • After 3 half-lives, there remain 1/2 × 2.0 mol = 1.0 mol.
  • After 4 half-lives, there remain 1/2 × 1.0 mol = 0.50 mol.

CH3CN major species present when dissolved in water
Margaret [11]

Answer: CH₃CN and H₂O.

Explanation:

1) The spieces present in a solution may be either the molecules, in case of covalent compounds, or ions, in case of ionic compounds that dissociate (ionize).

2) Both, CH₃CN and H₂O are covalent (polar covalent) substances, so they do not ionize and the spieces in the solution are the molecules per se.

3) In solution, the molecules of H₂O will solvate the molecules of CH₃CN, meaning that H₂O molecules are able to separate the molecules of CH₃N from each other, and so every molecule of CH₃CN will end surrounded by many molecules of H₂O.

This happens because the interaction between the polar molecules of the two different compounds is strong enough to overcome the intermolecular forces between the molecules of the same compound.

What challenges would you encounter with the titration if you had used apple cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar as the analyte in
Vika [28.1K]

Explanation:

Apple cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar might contain various synthetics which might  interact with or nullified the findings, whereas white vinegar comprises of acidic acid only. In fact, apple cider vinegar and balsamic vinegar are deep in appearance this would make it very difficult to determine the color. This is why it is preferable to use white vinegar in the Titration process.

If 294 grams of FeS2 is allowed ti react with 176 grams of O2 according to the following equation how many grams of Fe2O3 are pr
podryga [215]
 <span>You must balance your equation correctly.
Here is your answer: 

294gFeS2 x 1molFeS2/119.99 x 11mols O2/4mols FeS2--> 6.738mol O2 

176gO2 x 1mol O2/32gO2 x 4mols FeS2/11mol FeS2--> 2mols FeS2 
Now choose the molecule with the lowest amount (Limiting Reagent) 

2molsFeS2 x 2molsFe2O3/4molsFeS2 x 159.7g
159.7g Fe2O3 grams produced.</span>
